Khartoum: Twelve Sudanese ministers have resigned in protest of a deal struck with a military council. The resignation letter was handed over to Abdullah Hamduk, who has returned to the post of Prime Minister. Hamdouk was reinstated as prime minister by the military on Sunday, ending a month-long political uncertainty in the African nation of Sudan.
The agreement was signed with the army chief, Jana. Abdul Fattah al-Burhan. The agreement was welcomed by the international community but was rejected by pro-democracy activists in Sudan, who said it was an attempt to legitimize the military coup. They also demanded that the military not be part of the future Sudanese government.
